The missing key to your Internet marketing success

Tuesday the 31st

4 Comments

If you’re like me, you’re probably living and breathing Internet marketing and you’ve tried many things to “make it finally work” for you.

I know exactly where you are because I have been there, too! There are just so many options that you don’t know where to start.

———————————————————————————
ARE YOU SUFFERING FROM INFORMATION OVERLOAD?
———————————————————————————

Making that step, finding your personal start is not easy. Not just in each individual “niche” in Internet marketing like selling digital products, creating niche websites and do affiliate marketing or building Adsense sites.

You feel paralyzed and frustrated because every week some guy or girl, maybe a lot younger than you, is telling you, how many thousands of dollars he or she made. And yet, you still have to find your own way to hold that first commission check in your hands. A feeling which would confirm that you’ve finally accomplished something and that you are not just daydreaming about making a living online.

What is the factor that makes Internet marketing work for “the gurus” and even some of the newbies but not for you even though you’ve read all the books and “been there, done that”? Is it really just knowledge?

Believe me, I have been asking myself this question time and time again. Yes, I am already “quite successful” as some people would call it as I am already fulltime for more than 3,5 years.

It took me a very long time to get into the category of marketers who are making their living online. Back then, it felt like an eternity…!

——————————————————————–
TAKING THE HARD WAY TO SUCCESS
——————————————————————–

It was not always easy to get there…

  • I’ve also had my months in which I could barely pay my rent.
  • I’ve also had years where I couldn’t afford it to go on vacation.
  • I’ve also bought dozens or maybe even hundreds of ebooks which promised me an “instant way to Internet marketing riches”.
  • I’ve also accumulated a lot of debt on my credit card account because I bought every ebook and software that seemed to be quick solution.
  • I’ve also been burned by MLM schemes and scammers.

But I have found my way and I have a solution for you, too…

——————————————————————–
WHAT IS THE WAY OUT OF THIS DILEMMA?
——————————————————————–

Let me tell you the truth, you deserve it.

===> THERE ARE NO MAGICAL SOLUTIONS WHERE YOU JUST HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON AND GET RICH “OVERNIGHT”! < ===

Like in any other business, you actually have to WORK to make it happen – even though you probably don’t want to hear that. If you don’t want to work then an Internet business isn’t for you.

And you may have heard it many times from others already but I am going to repeat it: Just reading all the stuff won’t make you a penny.

You have to take ACTION, no matter which area of Internet marketing you are in right now.

Try new things. Go new ways. Make your mistakes.

The more mistakes you make, the quicker you can achieve your goals.

————————————————
You need to have a VISION:
————————————————

– Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years from now?

Start with the end goal in mind and work your way backwards.

Which steps are needed to get there? Complete these steps one by one. If you know what it is that you really want, it will become much easier to get there!

e.g.:

Do you want to sell digital products?

Do you want to sell physical products?

Do you want to create a membership site?

Do you want to build websites for Adsense income?

– Which of these do you REALLY want for yourself?

Yes, you can make tens of thousands of dollars by sending out one email. But not before you have invested your time, your resources and your sweat to let this happen. The big guys did not get to that point in a week or two, either.

Even though they sometimes make you believe it…

———————————————————-
They took their time to BUILD THEIR BUSINESS
———————————————————-

What is needed to make a fortune “overnight”? You know, the one where you can send out the email and make yada, yada, yada.

Let me summarize for you what “overnight” in reality means:

  • You need to come up with a great idea for a product and you need to know if there’s a demand for it.
  • You need to create the product (either your own or one that you have private label rights to and which isn’t being sold by hundreds of others already) – starting with an affiliate product is not recommended at this stage.
  • You need to build a big list of people who are interested in what you have to offer.
  • You need to win their trust by giving them great content or a great resource like a membership site or a piece of software that makes their life easier.
  • You need to build a website which sells the product.

Building a website includes:

  • Having a web editor and being able to use it (e.g. FrontPage or DreamWeaver)
  • Writing a salesletter
  • Getting testimonials
  • Getting professional graphics done
  • Implementing a payment processor like Paypal, Clickbank or a shopping cart solution
  • Installing an affiliate tracking system
  • Installing a helpdesk software

Making the sale to your list includes:

– Knowing how to use autoresponders

– Knowing how to use tracking software

– Knowing how to write profit pulling emails

– Knowing what subject line to use

– Knowing what time to send it

After you have done all of the the above, you will probably be able to make a lot of sales to your list – depending on the list size and responsiveness of your subscribers. Then your “overnight” day has finally come. It can take anywhere from 3 months to 1 year or more to get to that point.

Once that step is completed and you have done some followup emails to your list as well, you need to contact potential JV partners to multiply your efforts. You can only make so many sales to your own list. Because, it will soon be saturated and you need more prospects…

You have to realize that an online business means work as well. Not pushing some buttons or joining the latest pie in the sky MLM scheme with “automatic spillover”.

I told you in one of my latest emails that I would reveal some very powerful strategies which I learned from Stephen Pierce and Mike Filsaime at the Internet Millionaires Bootcamp in London. Unfortunately, there weren’t too many comments in my blog that anyone had an interest in it. So I won’t write it down myself…

But I am going to do the next best thing. I’ve just finished reading an incredible ebook which details exactly why most newbies or even intermediate Internet marketers fail to make any substantial money. The author, Dennis Becker, is not quite a newbie but he failed to make a good income for a long time.

In fact, the author was at a point where he was completely burned out and he had tried so many strategies but still got nowhere. Until he discovered WHY he was failing at everything he did.

It’s only a few months ago that Dennis stumbled upon something very powerful. He had an A-HA moment which turned everything around for him. He used almost the same strategies and principles Mike Filsaime and Stephen Pierce taught at the Internet Millionaires Bootcamp. And he reveals the 2 controlling influences for success not just in Internet marketing but in life as well.

His strategies are so simple and yet so powerful, they made Dennis over $38,000 in 2 months. And let me tell you that by applying his strategies, you WILL definitely make money, too (probably not that much because as Dennis pointed out in his ebook, it was almost by “accident”…).

This ebook is affordable to anyone (it’s not even near the usual $97) and if you’re not getting a copy, you are really missing out – at least that’s what I would feel. It is not so much about the WHAT you are selling or doing but about HOW you are doing it and why you are not making a big progress.

Click below to find out how he turned his fate around:

===> Dennis Becker’s Success Principles laid down in his ebook “5 Bucks a day”

I told you, I would do the next best thing. If within the next 48 hours, you secure yourself a copy from the link above, I’ll send you the download link for the Powerpoint presentation which Mike Filsaime did at the seminar in London.

This presentation has all the secrets included which I learned there! These are very powerful principles about HOW to build your online business the right way. Knowing them will make you a better marketer and can mean the difference between making $1000 a month and $25000 or more a month…

Email your receipt to detlev AT turbobuddy.com and I will personally send you the link.

Launch Formula Marketing script launches today

Friday the 27th

0 Comments

You will probably remember the launch of the Butterfly Marketing package in the beginning of this year and how expensive it was. Of course, it’s a great package but simply not affordable to anyone. Especially, if you’re still struggling to make a comfortable living online. That’s why I want to mention a much cheaper alternative which you can get at almost 50% off but only today.

It’s called Launch Formula Marketing Script and will do the same things the Butterfly Marketing Script does – if not more. I will be one of the first buyers when the site is live which is in just a few minutes!

Meet me in London at the Internet Millionaires Bootcamp 2

Saturday the 14th

0 Comments

One of my subscribers, Norbert, pointed me to a free seminar which is taking place next weekend in London and which I will be attending. It’s called “The Internet Millionaires Bootcamp 2” and they really have brought all the big Internet Marketing Stars together. Best of all, they still seem to have some free seats (click the link above to reserve your seat).The dates for the seminar are Saturday, Oct. 21 and Sunday Oct. 22. If you have time, just come and say hello to me and the others.

Seminars are the best thing when it comes to building relationships with other Internet marketers and especially with the big boys. You will stand a much better chance to get a JV with one of the speakers than if you’re sending them JV proposal email no. 100 in that week. They need to know that you’re serious and this also means to go one step further than the rest and meet them in person.

The speakers are:

  • Stephen Pierce
  • Mike Filsaime
  • Willie Crawford
  • Len Thurmond
  • Derek Gehl
  • Carl Galletti
  • Randy Charach
  • Neil Stafford & Neil Travers
  • Ted Ciuba
  • Martin Wales
  • Frank Garon (host)

So if you’re located in the UK or in Europe, you should try to come over. The seminar itself is completely FREE! This means, you’ll only have to pay for the flight and a hotel room (and food of course). But you probably won’t see all of these high caliber guys again in one place in the next year or so. I’m going to take some nice pictures there and will post them here on my blog. Stay tuned…

My flight from Nuremberg will leave 06:10 AM on Friday morning and I’ll stay in London until next Tuesday. One or two days will be reserved for sightseeing as I have never been to London before (I’ve been to Birmingham, though…). I think, I will have a blast there and I will finally see a lot of people who I only have read about or seen on web pages (like Stephen Pierce & Mike Filsaime).

With that said, I hope you can be there, too

Have you been hugged today?

Wednesday the 11th

13 Comments

Well, I know – this is not directly Internet marketing related… but who cares? It’s all about being human and being emotional. And if someone offers to give us a free hug – would you say no? Many people have a hard time approaching others they don’t know yet. But here’s a guy, going around with a big sign which reads “Free hugs” – how cool is that?

At first, people seemed hesitant to react to his sign but… See for yourself what happens
on his MySpace Site he also had another video where his campaign was shown in “Good Morning America”…! I don’t know if it’s still there.
Please post your comments and let me know what you think about this… Should something like this be done more often? Or do you think this guy is just sick?

Maximizing The Number Of Clicks On Your Adsense Ads

Sunday the 8th

2 Comments

Most webmasters know that Adsense generates a sizeable source of additional advertising income. That is why most of them are going after high paying keywords…

They have huge lists that tell them what the keywords are and have already used various methods of identifying them. And yet, after putting up these supposed-to-be high paying keywords into their pages, the money they expected to come rolling in is not really coming.

What is it that they are doing wrong?

Having the pages is with the proper keywords is one thing. But driving visitors to those pages is another matter and often the factor that is lacking.

Structuring Your Site Navigation The Right Way

The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying keyword pages, you need to optimize your site navigation.

Stop for a moment and think about how visitors are using your website. After a visitor has landed on a certain page, they have the tendency to click on another link title that sounds interesting. They get there because of the other links which appear on the page that they initially landed on. This is site navigation. It is all about enabling visitors to navigate through your site. And this also is one way of maximizing your Adsense earnings.

A typical website has menu links on each page. The wording of these links is what grabs a visitor’s attention and gets them to click on them. Thus, they will be taken to another page within that website. Links that have “free” or “download” included in the link text are oftentimes good attention-grabbers.

This navigation logic can also be applied to driving traffic to your high paying pages. There are some websites that are getting a lot of traffic from the search engines, but have low earnings. The trick is to try and use cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off these low paying pages and navigate them to the higher earning ones. This is a great way of turning cheap clicks to real dollars.

Before you begin testing if this technique can work for you and your website, too, you need to have two things:

Something to track and compare and some high earning pages you want to funnel your site traffic to. An option is to select a few of your frequently visited pages. This is ensuring fast result to come by.

Now, the next thing to do is think of ways to get visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on the link that will take them to your high earning pages. Come up with a catchy and unique description for the link. Think of something that people do not get to see every day. That will trigger their curiosity enough to try and see what it is all about.

Graphics Grab Attention

You can also use graphics to grab your reader’s attention. There almost is no limitation to what you can do to get your link seen. If you are after the success of your site, you will do everything it takes just to achieve that goal. Just be creative. But do not overstep the guidelines of the search engines.

Also remember that it is all about location, location and location. Once the perfect attention grabbing description has been achieved, you have to identify the perfect spot on your page to position that descriptive link to your high paying page.

There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to see how they are going about maximizing their site navigation. “Hot pages” or “Most read” lists are very common and overly used already. Get to know the strategies many websites are using and try to come up with your own ways.

Test And Track Your Results

Another way of doing it is to try and use different texts on different pages. That way you will see which ones are working and the ones which aren’t producing any clicks. Try to mix things around also. Put links on top and sometimes on the bottom too. This is how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored.

Let the testing begin! Test and track until you find the site navigation styles and locations that work best for your site.
